Night Photography with my Canon Powershot Digital Camera
[Go back to main photo galleries page]
Photographing things at night has always interested me. And that is one of the things digital cameras have always been lacking in quality. So far I haven't been able to capture perfect night shots but I am still perfecting and learning how to do this with my digi-cam. Note: if your monitor is dim these pictures might be difficult to view on you screen. But with a simple point and shoot 3.2MP, some of these didn't turn out too bad. Take a look:

Probably the best pic of the moon I have so far, the left is uneditied, the right is auto level balanced. |
 |
I guess this is what they call a 'harvest moon'. The moon was very orange, but this photo brings out the orange a little more than the naked eye since the shutter speed was higher than the auto setting. |
 |
A couple more pics of the moon. |
 |
Here is an over-exposed picture of the moon. |
 |
Believe it or not this picture is taken around dawn, with barely enough light to see to walk across the field (view from my tree stand during hunting season). It was a few seconds long exposure and came out a little blurry because the tree was swaying in the wind a little. Note the house light in the distance, if this were a daytime picture the house light probably would not have even been visible. |
 |
The night sky. Stars alone were difficult to picture, but this shot was able to capture a starry scene. |
 |
Here is a few second long exposure driving down the road. I passed under a blinking yellow light. |
 |
I tried to photograph all the fireflies that were out in the field camping one summer night. The picture doesn't show nearly the amount of fireflies, but some did show up in the picture. |
 |
Take a guess at what this pic is. If you guessed the moon you would be incorrect. Its actually the sun just taken with a very high shutter speed (this one was taken years ago on a 35mm film canon rebel). |
